San Francisco based Dennis DiDonna was a typical startup entrepreneur in the US, when career burnout led him to take a five month sabbatical in 2017, during which he walked the Camino De Santiago in Spain and did a six-week pilgrimage through Japan.
“Over the last two years, we have seen a remarkable increase of guests staying a month or even longer, who need a place where they can combine wellness and personal growth while still being connected to their work,” says Kamalaya’s co-founder, Karina Stewart. Yet taking time off has been shown to increase productivity and creativity, as well as lowering the risk of heart disease. According to the Framingham Heart Study, people who take time off live longer, and are happier personally as well as with their work. “The age-old model of working like mad and taking a week or two of vacation a year just isn’t working for a lot of people anymore,” says Ms Ellis.
Says Ms Bostock, “The guests who check in for these are typically high-flyers, stressedout senior executives who have come to a crossroads in their lives where they know they can no longer continue with their way of life and the state of their health.”Hong Kong-based fashion designer Tiffany Jane Bisley took her first sabbatical at Absolute Sanctuary in Thailand, after years of not taking a break, or even a full weekend.
